# Checkout And Accounts Configuration API for unified branding across checkout, customer accounts, and sign-in

As of API version 2026-04, the new Checkout And Accounts Configuration API is now available to unlock consistent branding customizations across checkout, customer accounts, and sign-in surfaces. This API is exclusively available to Shopify Plus merchants.

This new API replaces the [Checkout Profile API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/queries/CheckoutProfile) and [Checkout Branding API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/CheckoutBrandingUpsert) (both are now deprecated). All capabilities to customize settings and branding for checkout, and customer accounts, and sign-in are now consolidated into one single API.

What you can do:

* **Shared branding settings:** Use shared designTokens and components to set branding once and apply consistently across checkout, customer accounts, and sign-in pages. Section styles (padding, shadows, colors, borders, and border radius) previously available for checkout only can now be applied to customer account pages.

* **Surface-specific overrides:** Apply targeted overrides under surfaces.checkout, surfaces.customerAccounts, and surfaces.signIn for logos, colors, and section styles.

* **Direct color settings**: Set color using HEX values or palette colors directly on sections like main, header, and orderSummary — no more mapping through a limited number of color schemes. Save your brand colors to an editable color palette of up to 20 colors and reference anywhere you make a color selection. Update a palette color, and it changes everywhere it is referenced.

* **Customize branding per market**: Customize your pages for each market with unique branding settings.
